i have installed 747 queen of the skies and when i change the speed settings etc..i get an arrow instead of a pointer it makes things awkward..what changes do i have to make to correct this....thanks for any help

You are not supposed to "correct" this, because its not a bug but the way it works :)The arrows indicate the click spots where you can change something - the 744 has a slightly different mouse interface than other planes - left click for decreasing, right for increasing whenever the pointer takes the double-headed arrow shape.Some controls have multiple clickspots (e.g. the HDG selector on the MCP) with both horizontal and vertical double-headed arrows.In the 2d panel, you can also use the mousewheel to change the values.
